    And that's the way it was. Early rodders didn't want patina, they wanted paint, and as soon as they could afford it or do it in the driveway with a Kirby vacuum cleaner, they did, and all was right with the world.

    Love the car, love the car's history, and glad you went the full road.

    The patina era was way overdone,and as stated above it wasn't "the way it was" I'm the day. Hopefully others will follow suit and the fad will fall by the wayside

    Nothing is cooler than getting the old family hot rod past down to you from your Dad. Looks great then and now. Just flat out sweet!
